After assessing where most of the IAQ problems exist in and around the building, the IAQ manager works with building management to determine what pollutant sources referred to in I-BEAM are applicable to the building and decide which two of the four protocols address most of the building’s needs. The protocols are:

Remodeling and Renovation;
Painting;
Pest Control—Integrated Pest Management (IPM);
and Shipping and Receiving.
